Some Doodles I Done Did.

      I was doing a show at the Oddball Art Hall and so I doodled my heart out the night before to have some drawings to sell along with my handmade jouranls. I am rusty for sure, but was happy to sell all but one of the 4.

The Cat

My husband says that this drawing sums up my feelings on cats fairly accurately. I do love an underbite though. The little yarn ball I drew as an afterthought on another piece of paper and then glued it on.

Peepers

Everybody loves owls and they're somewhat simples to draw if you're not going for accuracy. This little hooter has got some big ol' peepers for staring into your soul.

Not Interested in Mushy Stuff...

I'm not sure where this came from. I'm in Kennett Square, so mushrooms were on the brain and then of course I had to add faces. The one little mushroom isn't interested in familial bonding. He's not being a real fungi... DOUBLE PUN.

The Frog King

The Frog King in his natural habitat. A look at if the Frog Prince had decided that he just liked being amphibious better.

And that's about it. Need to start doodling more often to improve my skills.

Sketch Tuesday 5-12-09: Octo-alien illo sketch

Remember the kinda an octopus/jelly fish thing from last week? Here he is in action. Click on the image to see it larger. This sketch has been in the making forever. Let's see how long it takes to become a finished painting.

Kinda a octopus/jelly fish thing. Don't ask me, I just drew it.

Sketch Tuesday 4-29-09: Revamp!

I didn't post my new sketch on here yesterday as I got lazy and only posted it on my Flickr. Anyway, here it is!

It's the little guy from my previous Sketch Tuesdays up to no good. This illustration is for a children's book I am working on with my father.

Sketch Tuesday-ish: 4-21-09

This is week number 9 in the New Sketch Tuesday project. And I'm a bit late considering it's now Wednesday morning. Better late than never though, right? This sketch is... well I don't know. Just an image that popped into my head.

So let's get to it. My sketches for this week are all from 2 children's books I am working on. Some quick character sketches, trying to figure out expressions etc.:

And then some small composition sketch tests:

New Sketch Tuesday 2-24-09

A new little project of mine. Every Tuesday I will have a new sketch to show on my blog. Having a deadline will help me to keep getting new work done. I'm doing this with a few other artists, with our group effort we should be able to keep it up. I hope you enjoy.

This week's is a sketch for a scratch board piece that I will make into an art print. I hope to complete it in the next 2 weeks or so.

A small planning sketch for the scene. I'm just trying to figure out the composition at this point and I will blow up the whole image bigger so I can make a more detailed sketch:


And then a more complete and larger (though not yet complete) sketch of the girl from the scene. Can you tell from this blog and previous blogs that I like making illustrations of girls with their hair blowing in the wind? haha. Her head will probably be turned more away from the viewer to make it appear that she is looking at the tornado. I just can't help but want to draw the face though. The plaids in her dress are hard to figure out...
Stay tuned to my blog for a completed illustration of this. And come back next week to see my new sketch! Same Bat time, same Bat channel.
